3. Inflation
Unfold the hot tub liner and connect the inflation hose from the pump unit to the hot tub's inflation valve. The pump will automatically inflate the hot tub to the correct pressure. Ensure the hot tub is firm but not over-inflated.
4. Filling with Water
Once inflated, fill the hot tub with fresh water to the recommended fill line indicated on the inside of the liner. Do not overfill.

- Set the desired water temperature.

3. Power Saving Timer
The Power Saving Timer allows you to schedule the heating cycle up to 40 days in advance. This feature helps maintain your desired temperature while optimizing energy consumption.
Maintenance
1. Water Chemistry
Maintaining proper water chemistry is crucial for the longevity of your hot tub and the health of its users. Regularly test the water using test strips and adjust chemical levels (pH, chlorine/bromine, alkalinity) as needed. The included ChemConnect dispenser helps maintain a stable level of chlorine.
2. Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge (Type VI) should be cleaned regularly, ideally after each use or daily, by rinsing it with a garden hose. Replace the filter cartridge every 1-2 weeks, or more frequently depending on usage and water quality.
3. Draining and Cleaning
Drain and clean your hot tub periodically, typically every 1-3 months, or as needed. Follow these steps:
- Turn off and unplug the hot tub.
- Attach a garden hose to the drain valve and direct the water to a suitable drainage area.
- Once drained, clean the interior surface of the hot tub with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
- Allow the hot tub to dry completely before refilling or storing.
4. Winterizing (Freeze Shield)
The Freeze Shield automatic heating function protects the pump and liner from damage due to cold weather. When activated, the system will keep the internal water temperature between 5.5°C (42°F) and 10°C (50°F) to prevent freezing. If storing the hot tub for winter, ensure it is completely drained, cleaned, and dry before deflating and packing away.
